Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

Net sales increased 29.7% to $1,787.2 million, compared to $1,377.5 million during the same period last year, or 28.5% on a constant currency basis. The increase in net sales resulted from growth across all four product categories, led by Food Preparation Appliances which grew nearly 90%.

Cleaning Appliances net sales increased by $106.5 million, or 19.7%, to $648.0 million, compared to $541.5 million in the prior year quarter, driven by the carpet extractor, hard floor, and cordless vacuums sub-categories.
Cooking and Beverage Appliances net sales increased by $94.7 million, or 18.8%, to $597.3 million, compared to $502.6 million in the prior year quarter, driven by growth in Europe and the continued momentum within heated cooking.
Food Preparation Appliances net sales increased by $161.0 million, or 89.0%, to $342.0 million, compared to $180.9 million in the prior year quarter, driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and frozen drink appliances.
Beauty and Home Environment Appliances net sales increased by $47.4 million, or 31.1%, to $199.9 million, compared to $152.5 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by strength of haircare products and air purifiers.

Gross profit increased 34.8% to $839.5 million, or 47.0% of net sales, compared to $622.9 million, or 45.2% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted Gross Profit increased 30.9% to $854.7 million, or 47.8% of net sales, compared to $652.7 million, or 47.4% of net sales in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 180 and 40 basis points, respectively, was derived from optimizations within our supply chain and sourcing and costing strategy, partially offset by the impacts of tariffs and geographical mix.

Research and development expenses increased 25.9% to $86.8 million, or 4.9% of net sales, compared to $69.0 million, or 5.0% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by incremental personnel-related expenses of $10.6 million due to increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.4 million.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 28.8% to $424.6 million, or 23.8% of net sales, compared to $329.6 million, or 23.9% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $48.6 million in advertising-related expenses, an increase of $34.6 million in delivery and distribution costs driven by higher volumes, particularly in our direct-to-consumer ("DTC") business, and an increase of $6.2 million in personnel-related expenses to support new product launches and expansion into new markets.

General and administrative expenses decreased 0.5% to $123.0 million, or 6.9% of net sales, compared to $123.6 million, or 9.0% of net sales in the prior year quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by a litigation recovery in the current quarter of $20.0 million and transaction costs incurred in the prior year quarter related to the separation and distribution from JS Global and secondary offering transactions of $3.2 million. The decrease was offset by an increase of $7.6 million in legal fees, an increase of $6.1 million in technology support costs and an increase of $3.6 million in credit card processing and merchant fees.

Operating income increased 103.6% to $205.1 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $100.8 million, or 7.3% of net sales, during the prior year. Adjusted Operating Income increased 28.1% to $256.5 million, or 14.4% of net sales, compared to $200.2 million, or 14.5% of net sales, in 2023.

Adjusted Net Sales of Food Preparation Appliances increased by $533.4 million, or 82.7%, from $645.3 million to $1,178.7 million, driven by strong sales of our ice cream makers and compact blenders, specifically our portable blenders, as well as the launch of our frozen drink appliances.
Beauty and Home Environment Appliances net sales increased by $229.7 million, or 67.8%, to $568.7 million, compared to $339.0 million in the prior year.

The increase in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin of 320 and 220 basis points, respectively, was driven by optimizations within our supply chain, sourcing and costing strategy, regional expansion, and foreign exchange benefit, as well as a reduction in the contractual sourcing service fee paid to JS Global for supply chain services.

Research and development expenses increased 36.9% to $341.3 million, or 6.2% of net sales, compared to $249.4 million, or 5.9% of net sales, in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by incremental personnel-related expenses of $44.0 million driven by increased headcount to support new product categories and new market expansion, and includes an increase of $2.7 million in share-based compensation.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the measures presented in our consolidated financial statements, we regularly review other financial measures, defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC, to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends, prepare financial forecasts and make strategic decisions.

The key non-GAAP financial measures we consider are Adjusted Net Sales, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Adjusted Net Sales growth on a constant currency basis. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by both management and our Board, together with comparable GAAP information, in evaluating our current performance and planning our future business activities. These non-GAAP financial measures provide supplemental information regarding our operating performance on a non-GAAP basis that excludes certain gains, losses and charges of a non-cash nature or which occur relatively infrequently and/or which management considers to be unrelated to our core operations and excludes the financial results from our former Japanese subsidiary, SharkNinja Co., Ltd. ("SNJP"), and our Asia Pacific Region and Greater China ("APAC") distribution channels, both of which were transferred to JS Global Lifestyle Company Limited ("JS Global") concurrently with the separation (the "Divestitures"), as well as the cost of sales from (i) inventory markups that were eliminated as a result of the transition of certain product procurement functions from a subsidiary of JS Global to SharkNinja concurrently with the separation and (ii) costs related to the transitional Sourcing Services Agreement with JS Global that was entered into in connection with the separation (collectively, the "Product Procurement Adjustment"). Management believes that tracking and presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides management and the investment community with valuable insight into our ongoing core operations, our ability to generate cash and the underlying business trends that are affecting our performance. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when used in conjunction with our GAAP financial information, also allow investors to better evaluate our financial performance in comparison to other periods and to other companies in our industry and to better understand and interpret the results of the ongoing business following the separation and distribution. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as a substitute for our financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and you are cautioned that other companies may define these non-GAAP financial measures differently.

SharkNinja does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income or of Adjusted Net Income Per Share to net income per share, diluted because such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting with reasonable certainty certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations, including, in particular, the realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses reported within other expense. For the same reasons, we are unable to forecast with reasonable certainty all deductions and additions needed in order to provide forward-looking GAAP net income at this time. The amount of these deductions and additions may be material, and, therefore, could result in forward-looking GAAP net income being materially different or less than forward-looking Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income Per Share. See "Forward-looking statements" above.

We define Adjusted Net Sales as net sales as adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including net sales from our Divestitures. We believe that Adjusted Net Sales is an appropriate measure of our performance because it eliminates the impact of our Divestitures that do not relate to the ongoing performance of our business.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Sales to the most comparable GAAP measure, net sales, for the periods presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
($ in thousands, except %)		2024		2023
Net sales	$	5,528,639	$	4,253,710
Divested subsidiary net sales adjustment⁽¹⁾		—		(77,544	)
Adjusted Net Sales⁽²⁾	$	5,528,639	$	4,176,166

(1) Adjusted for net sales from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023, as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023. No adjustment necessary for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2023 as the Divestitures occurred prior to those periods.

(2) The following tables reconcile Adjusted Net Sales to net sales per product category, for the periods presented:

We define Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit as adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including the net sales and cost of sales from our Divestitures and the cost of sales from the Product Procurement Adjustment. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit divided by Adjusted Net Sales. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin are appropriate measures of our operating performance because each eliminates the impact our Divestitures and certain other adjustments that do not relate to the ongoing performance of our business.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted Gross Margin to the most comparable GAAP measure, gross profit and gross margin, respectively, for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Year Ended December 31,

(1)		Adjusted for net sales from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023 as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

(2)		Adjusted for cost of sales from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023 as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

(3)		Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SharkNinja (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("SNHK"), and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

(4)		Reflects net sales for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2023, as no adjustment was necessary to net sales as the Divestitures occurred prior to those periods. Reflects Adjusted Net Sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating income excluding (i) share-based compensation, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, (iv) certain transaction-related costs, (v) shareholder-funded executive bonuses and (vi) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including operating income from our Divestitures and cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Operating Income to the most comparable GAAP measure, operating income, for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended December 31,					Year Ended December 31,
($ in thousands)		2024			2023		2024		2023

Adjusted Operating Income	$	256,520		$	200,209	$	839,500	$	638,273

(1)		Represents non-cash expense related to awards issued from the SharkNinja and JS Global equity incentive plans.

(2)		Represents litigation costs incurred and related settlements for certain patent infringement claims, false advertising claims, and any related settlement costs and recoveries, which were recorded in general and administrative expenses.

(3)		Represents amortization of acquired intangible assets that we do not consider normal recurring operating expenses, as the intangible assets relate to JS Global's acquisition of our business. We exclude amortization charges for these acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculating Adjusted Operating Income, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of JS Global's acquisition of our business, as well as the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. Of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was recorded to research and development expenses, and $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and $15.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was recorded to sales and marketing expenses.

(4)		Represents certain costs incurred related to the separation and distribution from JS Global and the secondary offering transactions.

(5)		Represents cash bonuses paid to certain executives by Mr. Xuning Wang, the Chairperson of the board of directors and the Company's controlling shareholder, which had no impact on the Company's overall cash flow.

(6)		Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SNHK, and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

(7)		Adjusted for operating income from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023 as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income excluding (i) share-based compensation, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) foreign currency gains and losses, net, (iv) amortization of certain acquired intangible assets, (v) certain transaction-related costs, (vi) shareholder-funded executive bonuses, (vii) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including net income from our Divestitures and cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment, (viii) the tax impact of the adjusted items and (ix) certain withholding taxes.

Adjusted Net Income Per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share to the most comparable GAAP measures, net income and net income per share, diluted, respectively, for the periods presented:

(1)		Represents non-cash expense related to awards issued from the SharkNinja and JS Global equity incentive plans.

(2)		Represents litigation costs incurred and related settlements for certain patent infringement claims, false advertising claims, and any related settlement costs and recoveries, which were recorded in general and administrative expenses.

(3)		Represents foreign currency transaction gains and losses recognized from the remeasurement of transactions that were not denominated in the local functional currency, including gains and losses related to foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedging instruments.

(4)		Represents amortization of acquired intangible assets that we do not consider normal recurring operating expenses, as the intangible assets relate to JS Global's acquisition of our business. We exclude amortization charges for these acquisition-related intangible assets for purposes of calculated Adjusted Net Income, although revenue is generated, in part, by these intangible assets, to eliminate the impact of these non-cash charges that are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of JS Global's acquisition of our business, as well as the inherent subjective nature of purchase price allocations. Of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, $0.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was recorded to research and development expenses, and $4.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and $15.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, was recorded to sales and marketing expenses.

(5)		Represents certain costs incurred related to the separation and distribution from JS Global and the secondary offering transactions.

(6)		Represents cash bonuses paid to certain executives by Mr. Xuning Wang, the Chairperson of the board of directors and the Company's controlling shareholder, which had no impact on the Company's overall cash flow.

(7)		Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SNHK, and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

(8)		Represents the income tax effects of the adjustments included in the reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income determined using the tax rate of 22.0%, which approximates our effective tax rate, excluding (i) the withholding adjustment described in footnote (9), (ii) divested subsidiary net income adjustment described in footnote (10), and (iii) certain share-based compensation costs and separation and distribution-related costs that are not tax deductible.

(9)		Represents withholding taxes associated with the cash dividend paid to JS Global in connection with the separation and related refinancing.

(10)		Adjusted for net income (loss) from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023 as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023.

(11)		In calculating net income per share and Adjusted Net Income Per Share, we used the number of shares transferred in the separation and distribution for the denominator for all periods prior to completion of the separation and distribution on July 31, 2023.

We define EBITDA as net income excluding: (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding (i) share-based compensation cost, (ii) certain litigation costs, (iii) foreign currency gains and losses, net, (iv) certain transaction-related costs, (v) shareholder-funded executive bonuses and (vi) certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance following the separation, including Adjusted EBITDA from our Divestitures and cost of sales from our Product Procurement Adjustment. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Adjusted Net Sales. We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are appropriate measures because they facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results according to GAAP, we believe provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone.

The following table reconciles EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income, for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended December 31,						Year Ended December 31,

(6)		Represents cost of sales incurred related to the Product Procurement Adjustment. As a result of the separation, we purchase 100% of our inventory from one of our subsidiaries, SNHK, and no longer purchase inventory from a purchasing office wholly owned by JS Global. Thus, the markup on all inventory purchased subsequent to the separation is completely eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the separation, we pay JS Global a sourcing service fee to provide value-added sourcing services on a transitional basis under a Sourcing Services Agreement.

(7)		Adjusted for Adjusted EBITDA from SNJP and the APAC distribution channels for the year ended December 31, 2023 as if such Divestitures occurred on January 1, 2023. The divested subsidiary Adjusted EBITDA adjustment represents net loss from our Divestitures excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and foreign currency gains and losses recorded at the subsidiary level.

(8)		Reflects net sales for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2023, as no adjustment was necessary to net sales as the Divestitures occurred prior to those periods. Reflects Adjusted Net Sales for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We refer to growth rates in Adjusted Net Sales on a constant currency basis so that results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. These amounts are calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides useful information in understanding and evaluating trends in our operating results.
